Antother day another two chapters, seriously guys I think I have a problem here! I can't seem to stop writing this stuff!
I do not own Beyblade
Jordan and Hilary were sitting on the piano stool with their backs to them, Jordan was watching Hilary intently as she thumped out chords following the music in front of her with remarkable ease. Hilary was concentrating hard on the sheet of music and didn't hear the door open, her fingers were beginning to become more used to the movement and her mind was lost in the world of chords treble clefs and semi quavers. Suddenly she hit another wrong note and stopped.
"Damn it!" she stood up angrily "I told you I couldn't do it! Well," she paused "not this stuff anyway, its been years"
"You should have practiced!" Jordan was annoyed he hadn't expected to find her so amateur.
"I played, I just left behind the classical"
"So now you do pop music" Jordan spat the words like they were a bad taste in his mouth
"You sound like an old person, I do music that reflects my mood"
"Classical can do that, God Hilary you had such talent…."
"Don't you dare lecture me! You can't just come into my life and tell me what to do"
Hilary heard a cough and was suddenly aware of their presence behind her she stopped and turned "Guys!" The Blade Breakers were standing behind her a little surprised. "How long have you been there?"
"I thought you said you weren't that good?" Kai smiled at her confusion
"Yeah well you said you couldn't make jokes, but I'm pretty sure your dress sense should count as one" Hilary snapped she was angry at having been discovered. Kai smirked slightly knowing that she was enjoying for a moment the banter
"I make jokes all the time, maybe its you that doesn't have a sense of humour"
"I have a sense of humour, I laugh at you all the time"
"You laugh we'd have to use electric shock therapy"
"Yeah on you!" Kai was pleased to let her have the last word, he watched as Hilary started to smile unable to stop the corners of her mouth twitching. The others all stared, listening to this exchange shocked, (After all Kai had just spoken more in this interlude than he usually did in a whole day) Mariah came forward slightly stunned and hoping to restore the peace.
"Hilary that was really good, I didn't know you could sing" Hilary decided to change the subject she glanced at the four men standing behind her friends she had a dim recollection of having seen two of them before, they were probably beybladers.
"Do you have any idea how much that piano cost?" Oliver stared at her, Hilary looked at them apologetically
"Sorry, I know its probably expensive, look I don't normally play and I know I'm no good but it's a beautiful instrument!" she shrugged feeling that the explanation should be enough. Noticing the odd look she was getting she continued "and with Rachmaninoff's third just lying there I couldn't help myself" She looked up at the blader and was surprised to see him smiling
"You know you're stuff! You like it?" Oliver grinned "you can have it if you want, I have another at home"
"Oh I couldn't"
"Of course you could, it barely gets any use here!"
"I've nowhere to put it" Hilary said regretfully as she lovingly stroked the Piano
"You're Hilary?" Robert stared at the girl she looked familiar but still he was amazed that the Blade Breakers could know someone like her?
"Yes!" Hilary was looking at him directly,
"Do you beyblade?"
"No!"
"Oh! Well why does someone like you hang out with this lot then" Robert indicated the Blade Breakers standing behind him,
"They're my friends"
"But they're so uncouth, and you seem so…"
"They're my family," Hilary didn't notice the slight wince Jordan gave as she said this, "please don't insult them, and anyway I'm not always this well behaved," She smiled at them a wide genuine smile that lightened her entire face "You caught me at a good time." She sat down at the piano again and began play a few chords she grinned to herself, playing the piano was coming back to her swiftly and she was enjoying the sounds she made, closing her eyes briefly she lost herself in the music.
"Fur Elise" Robert nodded impressed
"Hilary?" Max was looking at her
"Yes Maxie?"
"You're really good" she blushed but enjoyed the compliment, all this time they had been the talented ones while she stood cheering them on, now here they were all watching and she became the centre of attention.
"How long has it been since you played?" Oliver watched as she stopped playing and rubbed her hands, they were a little stiff.
"Classical? About nine years"
"Nine years?" Oliver stood staring "that cant be right. I mean that would mean that you started playing Rachmaninoff at a really early age…?"
"She was seven" Jordan filled in,
"Seven? But that's impossible I wasn't able to even look at that stuff till I was twelve!"
"Hilary was a prodigy" Jordan grinned down at her, she was blushing harder now,
"Leave it Jordan!" Hilary moved away from the instrument uncomfortable
"Hey, you should be proud of your talent" Jordan argued looking annoyed, he wanted to boast about his little sister, he was very proud of her. She had grown into a brave and beautiful young woman!
He wasn't the only one to notice this Enrique watching carefully sidled over to her flirtatiously
"Beautiful, intelligent, talented and from your taste in music very cultured, is there anything you aren't?"
"One thing she's not is interested" Jordan cut in before anyone else could, he stood and put his arm around her "This is my little sister Hilary, so here is a warning Enrique, stay away!"
Hilary glanced over at Kai he was looking at Enrique angrily, his hands had instinctively balled into fists. Grinning Hilary dropped her gaze to the floor, Enrique moved away,
"Message received and understood" Hilary looked up apologetically, Enrique gave Hilary a parting smile and he walked out of the room. Jordan frowned at the other Majestics,
"I'll take you to my father, the rest of you all stay here" and with that he swept out of the room followed by Johnny Oliver and Robert.
"They seemed nice!" Hilary grinned,
"Well they aren't," Tyson was angry "God those rich, stuck up snobs really need taking down a peg or two"
"Hey calm down" Hilary looked at him surprised
"Did you hear the way they talked down to us?"
"Yes Tyson I heard"
"Hilary?" Ray was still looking at the piano "what did your brother mean, about you being a prodigy?" Hilary sighed,
"Well I found playing the Piano very easy, I played as though by instinct, like Brooklyn with his blading. Look I love music but the thing is, I don't want it to be my lot in life"
"Why not you're really good" Kenny went over to her
"Because if it became a job I would hate it, Jordan always wanted me to become a musician but I wanted to do something else." Hilary felt tired of the subject all of a sudden "lets just drop it" The Blade Breakers obviously wanted to ask more but you don't live with a girl for two years without learning when to change the conversation.
In the office the Majestics were entering into a very heated discussion with Hilary's father, they all wanted different things and it looked as though they were going to be in the meeting for a while. They all argued and resoned until finally...
"Alright" Hilary's father said finally "We concentrate on bringing Boris down one site at a time, if however he works this out and goes on the run it won't be my fault."
"Sir" Robert explained "Boris will go on the run however we do this, but if we are systematic and thorough we should be able to ensure that he does not get away."
"Besides" Oliver explained "he has labs and centres all over the globe, that kind of operation would be huge and would bring to much attention onto the organisation." There were nods of agreement and it seemed as though they had finally reached a decision.
"One thing sir"
"Yes?"
"We have seen that your daughter and another young lady are in the building,"
"You know the rules" Johnny explained gently
"Yes, I made them up."
"Then you will send her, and her friend away?"
"Her and the rest of that stupid lot the Blade Breakers or whatever they call themselves" Mr Tatibana agreed.
"No" Johnny surprised everyone "The Blade Breakers are a good team, strong, talented and most importantly they work together. I may talk a lot of trash about them but all things considered they would be an asset to the organisation" The rest of the Majestics nodded and Hilary's father saw that he had no choice but to offer the Blade Breakers a place in his organisation after all the Majestics were the ones that paid the bills. As they left the room Johnny turned to the others
"Of course anyone tell the Blade Breakers what I said in there, and you die"
I know not a brilliant chapter!
